switchman on the Chicago and Alton Rail-
road has been for three months in trance.
She has not spoken nor opened her eyes in
that time. Her eyes cannot be opened, and
she cannot move. She cannot eat, and
fluid food has to be forced into her mouth
When an attempt is made to put food in
her mouth the jaws close rigidly and the
lips are compressed tightly. Occasionally
she will drink a swallow or two of water il
the edge of the glass is forced through her
lips. She is reduced to a skeleton and
looks like a corpse. The lips, however,
are slightly colored. Her breathing is
almost imperceptible The physicians
agree that she is afflicted with catalepsy
though the suspension of muscular power
volition and sense has lasted longer than
such cases.
